Mile High Card Company President and CEO Brian Drent said that 2017 would be a groundbreaking year and he’s right again as MHCC’s Spring Auction is one of their most impressive ever. Though smaller in size at just under 700 lots, this event offers a parade of exclusive sports cards and memorabilia not seen in decades, led by a newly graded 1951 Bowman #253 Mickey Mantle RC PSA 8 that compares aesthetically with any MINT example in existence.
